They could, but honestly the paint looks pretty good now. When they refurbished the castle in early 2015 to get ready for the Diamond overlay, they painted it then, and removed the pink coloring. (Can you believe that was four years ago now?!)

I think the new colors are more in line with the concept of the Castle being a 'fairytale' castle. If I recall correctly, the new paintscheme was chosen so that the castle would always look lively when hit by the sunrays of SoCal. It's not really pink, but peach-orange. I honestly think the paintscheme introduced in 2015 is better looking than the scheme in the 90s, but I suppose the nostalgic value is worth being considered.

It seems that current Disney has no idea how to be subtle or how sometimes less is more. Nothing can be understated anymore. Just look at Tropical Hideaway with gigantic instagram food p-rn pics and 3 signs advertising sporks. Sporks!?

The walls have an explanation of the work being done, plus info on stuff that's been added over the decades that ruins a lot of unofficial tour guides scripts. There's also a rendering by Kim Irvine on the color scheme being applied.

Hard to tell from that photo, but it looks like they're planning on scaling back some of the 2005 pepto pink, and are returning to a more subtle look for the castle- a blend of the old and new. This refurb looks like a huge win for the park.
